ABSTRACT:
An engine compartment structure for introducing cool air into an air intake port without providing a baffle plate is constructed such that air discharged by cooling fans is directed away from the air intake port. A rotational direction of a second cooling fan of a pair of cooling fans can be opposite to the first cooling fan. The first cooling fan is closer to the air intake port than the second cooling fan. Air volume discharged by the first cooling fan can also be larger than that of the second cooling fan. Furthermore, rotational directions of the pair of cooling fans can be selected such that the air discharged by the cooling fans is directed toward a space at the rear side of the opposite headlamp, and each air volume discharged by the respective cooling fan set differently.
